iPhone App: Stay
= 3 stars
Balance game where you stack blocks on a tipping plank of wood, trying to keep the pile balanced before everything falls into oblivion.
The Good
- Simple gameplay. Just tap anywhere to place a random block on the screen, which then falls toward the bottom of the screen. The size of each block represents its weight, and your task is to keep the blocks arranged on the plank in a way that keeps everything from falling into oblivion. Some blocks change size soon after their creation.
- Interesting graphics, the blocks look slightly translucent like colored ink stamps on paper.
The Bad
- Seems the accelerometer could have been worked in somehow.
- Pretty difficult, I haven’t yet lasted a minute.
- You can’t drag a block after it’s been created (think Topple).
Conclusion
Decent game based on a simple idea, but I haven’t returned to it much since the initial purchase.
